How I first encountered FNAF
Today, I felt like telling you about the very first time I played the original Five Nights at Freddy's, which also was the first time I ever played a FNAF game.

Up to that point in time, I had only seen about 3-4 episodes of Markiplier's FNAF Let's Play and I was pretty scared of those jumpscares. The worst thing for me though, was when I saw Freddy's head flashing during a power out, while his song played.

I had nightmares about the series, until that one day, were we had a new trainee at our workplace. He was playing FNAF on his smartphone and I told him about my experience with FNAF (or lack thereoff).

He was around 14-15 years old and said: "Hey! You don't need to be scared. Here's my smartphone. Play the game! It's fun!"

He gave me his smartphone and started Night 3. He went into the camera and showed me the animatronics, that were all on stage and flipped through the cams and showed me the Pirate Cove, with the curtain closed.

Then we went back to the Nightguard's Office and he showed me how to open and close the doors and use the lights, then he let me play the game and left the room.

Let's start with Night 3...
...because throwing someone, who has never played the game before, and is really scared of the characters, right into the third night, where ALL animatronics are ACTIVE is fine. XD

At first, I just sat there and stared at the screen.

Oh, dear! I just was thrown into Night 3 wihtout ever playing the game! I mean, I had seen some videos on it, but still...

I sat there for like two ingame hours and didn't dare to tap anything. Then I heard steps on the left channel and knew it was Foxy, because I hadn't watched the cams!

In what felt like bullet time, I closed the left door and heard Foxy banging the door. Then I checked the cameras.

Oddly, the other animatronics all were still on the Show Stage, so I looked at the cams over and over again.

They stayed at the stage and Foxy's curtain was closed again. I saw the funny poster of Freddy tearing off his head in the camera next to the office and shrugged.

I kept looking at th cams and the only one, who started making funny things again was Foxy, who was ready to leave the Pirate Cove again. This time, I checked the cams too often. XD

I closed the cam and checked the door lights, which I had almost forgotten existed. XD

Soon enough, I heard Foxy running again, so I closed the left door. Foxy bangs the door.

It's 5 AM. Freddy is on the Show Stage, but Bonnie has moved to the Dining Area and Chiaki is in the Rest Rooms.

I decide to keep checking the cams.

And check them too much again. Foxy is gone from the Pirate Cove!

I curse.

I'm too slow and Foxy starts going "Screee" as he leans in from the left door, but is interrupted by Big Ben and children cheering, cause the clock hits 6 AM during his Jumpscare.

I did it! I beat the third night on my first try with 42 % power left. I played FNAF for the first time, but now I am a shaky mess and give the smart phone back to the other trainee.

That was the first time I ever played FNAF. XD
